Loan Services

You may be able to skip a loan payment! Sometimes you need a little payment relief – possibly at Christmas or tax time. Every twelve months members in good standing qualify for the option to skip a payment for one month on most personal loans (no real estate or credit card loans).

It is widely known that the majority of adults are underinsured. When disaster strikes your family it is a big relief to your loved ones when you are prepared. Credit life insurance and disability insurance may be purchased when you get your loan or you may add it during the life of your loan. You pay the premium on a monthly basis and it is included in your loan payment. Contact our loan department for more information.
